The Mission Belt: A Stylish Belt with a #SocialGood Mission
Product was provided for this post as part of an opportunity with The Brand Connection. All opinions expressed are my own. My husband rotates between two belts on a regular basis with his office slacks, jeans & cargo shorts. Since he has lost about 15-20 pounds in the last year, he has had to cinch up his belt even more, getting down to the last belt hole. It was looking like he’d need a new belt at a different belt size. That’s when I … [Read more...]

Sky High Sports: The Trampoline Place
Every now & then, my daughter will have random days off from school. Sometimes it’s a holiday & other times it’s one of those teacher in-service days. We had one of those school vacation days about 2 weeks ago. So what’s a kid to do when you want to spend an hour or two with school friends? Rather than hosting a get-together at my house, I decided to call up my daughter’s BFF (well actually her mom) & schedule a play date at Sky High … [Read more...]
